A quiet relaxing delight
What can I say - everything we had hoped for an more. A quiet location, the sound of the ocean drifting through the open doors, and places to relax and unwind. Will definitely be back to St Brigids.

Amazing place to stay
Tucked in behind the sand dunes and just a short walk to Goolwa beach. Big open plan living area, great mezzanine bedroom area with some views to the ocean, brilliant big bath and a quiet area sheltered from the coastal breeze outside out the back (with another out door bath). A great stay and highly recommended.

Where the sea meets the sky
A very peaceful and cosy stay.Hearing the ocean over the sandhills was a sign of tranquillity. A walk on the beach each day was invigorating with the welcoming bath for a soak at the end of the day.Celebrated an anniversary, birthday and a memorial. mememorial

We absolutely loved staying in St Brigids. We have had a really difficult year and found the peace and beauty and the fire wonderful. We were lucky to have sunny days and chilly nights. We would like to stay here again.

Unique property very close to beach
Really enjoyed this quiet, unique property and its proximity to the beach. Well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. Potential renters should keep in mind the bedroom is in the loft and the bathroom is downstairs from the loft. There are also two steps down into the bathroom could be an issue for those who are not fully mobile.
